Lucasfilm used the D23 presentation to unveil official wardrobe assets and creature designs for the upcoming second season of Ahsoka, while simultaneously clarifying the operational status of the previously abandoned The Hunt for Ben Solo feature film project.
Ahsoka Season 2 Production Assets
The studio displayed physical costume builds and creature designs scheduled to appear when the series returns. Confirmed wardrobe reveals include returning outfits for Rosario Dawson’s Ahsoka Tano, Anakin Skywalker, Sabine Wren, Grand Admiral Thrawn, and Great Mother Klothow. The physical showcase also featured practical creature builds, specifically a new Loth-cat named Murley alongside the astromech droid Chopper. Helmed by Dave Filoni, production on the second season remains on schedule for an early 2027 premiere on Disney+.
The Status of Ben Solo
Addressing persistent rumors regarding the canceled cinematic project The Hunt for Ben Solo, Filoni directly commented on the film's standing within Lucasfilm's current development pipeline. When questioned by attendees regarding whether the film was permanently canceled, Filoni responded with a playful Jedi mind-trick gesture and confirmed that the studio is not actively producing the project at this time.
The D23 showcase establishes firm boundaries for Lucasfilm's immediate release schedule. While Ahsoka Season 2 moves into post-production with locked character designs ahead of its 2027 window, standalone cinematic explorations of the post-Sequel era remain on hold, directing the franchise's live-action narrative focus entirely back to serialized television under Filoni's supervision.
